Synopsis

Rarely have I had such a great time reading a new collection. Robert N. Watson, a poet and critic I’ve admired deeply for many years, has brought all of his considerable wit and poetic skill and passion for poetry to bear in this marvelously and wickedly disruptive book, which ranges through English and American poetry over the centuries and echoes, parodies, absorbs, and transmogrifies whatever it touches. It’s a moving book, both serious and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny as well. Bravo!
— Jay Parini, multi-award-winning author of Borges and Me and thirty other books
